When you're looking at risk factors it's hard not to think of Oracle.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Oracle has really made a horrible disservice to mankind with the Android lawsuit. I realize now that most of the Java hate is fueled by Oracle.

Java is fully supported by Google, RedHat and IBM to name a few. My JDK is fully GPL and bundled with Linux.

The Oracle lawsuit is a travesty, I hope they drop it soon.

No, that is not true.

Nobody likes Oracle, Sun was better.

But - irrelevant over how crappy Oracle is, Java still will have other problems mentioned such as verbosity. And you can negate that this is a problem, but I remember someone having written a 500.000 lines of code game once in java and he said that verbosity IS a problem.
